President Trump said Friday that he turned down being named Time's "Person of the Year" after the magazine only told him he "probably" would be selected.

He tweeted:

Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named “Man (Person) of the Year,” like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!

Here's another explanation for Trump's lunacy regarding Time. To get on all those Time covers, Obama had to be president for 8 years. Subconsciously, Trump knows he probably won't complete his first term. Therefore, he can't compete with Obama. Therefore, to explain Obama's getting on more covers than he will, he has to pretend he was offered the cover but turned it down.
